<Vancouver> Argentina-bound retired Flyer trolleybuses

After the last Flyer trolleybuses (E901A / E902) were decommissioned in April 2008, Translink, the transportation authority of the Greater Vancouver Region has reached an agreement with the city of Mendoza in Argentina, of selling 80 of these retired trolleybuses at the price of $2300 Cdn per unit and Mendoza will pay for the shipping.

A friend of mine took these photos:

Is that Oak Street Garage?

Those photos are not taken at Oakridge Transit Centre (OTC), but rather at Surrey Fraser Docks down in Surrey, BC
